Disney has updated operational hours for both Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon, and it’s still not looking good for us water park-hoppers. Ever since Walt Disney World‘s 2020 closures and re-openings, only one of two water parks have been open at a time.
According to Disney’s recently-updated operational calendar, Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park is set to reopen to guests on November 4th, from 10am to 5pm. Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park will close on November 3rd for its “annual refurbishment”.
Before 2020, Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach would both be in operation during the spring, summer and fall. Only during winter is when one would close for annual maintenance, while the other would continue to be available to guests. Interestingly, Disney has not announced any significant refurbishment work that would require either park to remain closed six months at a time. This certainly makes it easier on staffing and operations, as one team of Cast Members can easily transfer between either operational water park. Is there really enough guest demand to only fill one water park at a time?
Additionally, Disney will be offering free admission to their water parks for onsite hotel guests (valid on check-in day) beginning January 1st, 2025. We only hope to see both Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon simultaneously operating in 2025!
